Preparation

Step 1

Pesto: Blend all ingredients until crumbly and homogeneous. Reserve. In a bowl break the egg and beat it. Mix together bread crumbs and spices.

Step 2

Dip the chops in flour, beaten egg, then breadcrumbs, making sure to cover them completely. Brown the chops in a hot pan with oil. Brown on both sides so that the breadcrumbs are golden brown, then let them cook gently for a few more minutes depending on thickness. The lamb should be cooked so it is still pink in the center. Serve immediately with some pesto and crushed pistachios.
